Dear Victor and Angela, Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church in the HMS, Peter Norvig (Google AI Director), all,
Warm Yoga greetings!
Yoginis Angela & Yogi Victor {Yogis, all} ~ some Yoga philosophy questions, here: http://www.scottmacleod.com/
Yoga is the inner releasing action, meditation {relaxation response}, of the bodymind/brain for we language-using human primates
Yoga is the inner releasing action, meditation {relaxation response}, of the bodymind/brain for we language-using human primates
- and these Hippy Anjali Yoga Notations RIFF with both Patanjali's Yoga sutras, and your wonderful Yoga explorations, Angela and Victor ... all this leads to further questions, and here again re these Yoga Notations - http://www.scottmacleod.com/
In Yoga meditation daily upon rising (often in Ardha Padmasana into Yoga mudrasana (closing or sealing pose bending forward from seated half lotus)), I've been exploring not only Nataraja inside (with his/her 3 arms, in the ring of fire, dancing on one foot on the dwarf of ignorance or heedlessness or forgetfulness- https://www.britannica.com/
See, too -
and -
... and not just Nataraja dancing in my inner belly (envisioning-wise, and experiencing this with consciousness in my inner body) ... but in heart chakra area as well ... and Garudasana (standing eagle pose) - which is Google searchable - opens one way to dance this dance inside for me exploratorily ...
... and have also been exploring 'internet ecology karma' = where karma for me means the sum total of all our good actions with all our bad actions playing out in the life of an individual (in the west) - newly with internet telecommunications or all kinds, including artificial intelligences and machine learning, and with evolutionary biology thinking as well (re 3.5 billion years of life, and 2-100 million species) ... re all that death - so many organisms have passed behind us ... and all that life ... so many organisms + have reproduced and passed on their genes (and in different cultural contexts like India, and America, and England, and the Netherlands, and through the 1960s and '70s re hippies as well)? How will all this unfold with aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drugs emerging, early ones possibly FDA approved by 2030 .. ?

Dear Bill, - thanks -
Behind the scenes of my new Netflix series
Co-chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
September 26, 2024
I've always thought of myself as a student trying to get to the bottom of things. A good day for me is one where I go to sleep with just a little bit more knowledge than I had when I woke up in the morning. So, when I am deciding how to spend my time these days, I usually ask myself three questions: Will I have fun? Will I make a difference? And will I learn something?
My new Netflix Series, What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates, is out. And when I think back on the process of working on it over the last two years, the answer to all three questions is a resounding “yes.”
I had an amazing time working with the super talented director, Morgan Neville. Morgan directed one my favorite documentaries, Best of Enemies, which is about Gore Vidal’s and William Buckley’s debates during the 1968 U.S. presidential election. Morgan also won an Oscar for his terrific film 20 Feet from Stardom.
As you might guess from the title, What’s Next? is a show about the future. I’m very fortunate to get to work on a number of interesting problems. Between fighting to reduce inequities through the Gates Foundation, leading Breakthrough Energy’s work on the climate crisis, and my continued engagement with Microsoft, I have a front seat to some of the biggest challenges facing us today.
I feel extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with and learn from some truly incredible people during the making of this show. (I’m hesitant to even use the word “work” because the process was so much fun!) My hope is that people watch What’s Next? and feel like they’re joining me on my learning journey.
Each episode focuses on a different challenge: artificial intelligence, climate change, misinformation, disease eradication, and income inequality. I sat down with some of the big thinkers and innovators who are pushing for progress. Some of them have different ideas than I do about how to tackle these challenges, and I loved getting to hear their perspectives. It was an eye-opening experience.
I got to have conversations on camera with familiar faces like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Open A.I. co-founder Greg Brockman, and the groundbreaking director James Cameron. And I made a lot of new friends as well—including an ingenious malaria researcher from Burkina Faso named Abdoulaye Diabaté, young climate activists who impressed me with their intelligence and passion, and an amazing group of people from across the Bay Area who overcame tremendous adversity in their path from poverty to stability.
There also were dozens of people who participated in the series with standalone interviews, like my friend Bono and the brilliant Mark Cuban—each of whom brings an inspiring and grounded view of the challenges we’re facing. My hope is that, together, we can combat the doomsday narratives that so often surround these issues.
It’s hard to pick which discussion I learned the most from. But three conversations will always stand out in my memory: the ones with Lady Gaga, Senator Bernie Sanders, and my younger daughter, Phoebe.
Going Gaga
I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
I was in Palm Desert, CA, preparing to have a filmed conversation with Lady Gaga for our episode about misinformation. Being around famous people doesn’t normally affect me. But I’m a big fan of A Star is Born—especially its music—and I was aware of her reputation as an outsized personality. I couldn’t wait to hear what she had to say.
Luckily, I had nothing to worry about. I was blown away by how thoughtful Gaga was. She made me laugh with the outrageous stories of how she’s been the subject of misinformation in the past—and inspired me with some of the ways she thinks about the topic.
In the early years of her career, one of the most persistent internet rumors about Gaga was that she was actually a man. It became so mainstream that reporters would ask about it during interviews. She refused to confirm or deny it. Instead, Gaga turned it back on the interviewer and asked, “Would it matter if I was?”
On the day of our Netflix conversation, I had been filming earlier with my two sisters, Kristi and Libby. So I asked them to come and watch the conversation between Lady Gaga and me.
Lady Gaga had a great perspective on the intersection of information and entertainment, and on the need to bring humanity back into personal interactions in the internet age. Our conversation was valuable in helping me think through what is (and might not be) possible when it comes to preventing misinformation.
I’ve always enjoyed Gaga’s music (including her new song!), but I came to appreciate her thoughtfulness as an artist. She has such interesting and insightful things to say about her art, her audience, and the ways she can make a difference. I’m grateful I was able to spend time with her.
Unexpected bedfellows
When I emailed Senator Bernie Sanders to ask if he would sit down with me for the episode on income inequality, I didn’t expect to hear back for a while. So, I was surprised and delighted to get a note back from him right away:
Bill – This sounds fun. Let’s do it.
– Bernie
Sent from my iPad
Several of my friends raised an eyebrow when I told them I was going to meet with him. After all, Sen. Sanders is the first U.S. Senator in history to go on record saying that billionaires shouldn’t exist. How would this discussion go?
This wasn’t my first time meeting the Senator. In the past, I found him quite approachable. I knew that, on lots of issues, we see things the same way. We had talked briefly about the climate crisis, but we had never had a lengthy conversation—and certainly not about income inequality.
Our meeting for the series took place in a nondescript Washington, DC rowhouse on a sunny afternoon last September. Arriving first, I reviewed my notes considering what the Senator might say to me.
Minutes later, I heard the front door of the house open and a deep voice bellowing my name. The Senator quickly ascended the stairs to give me a hearty handshake.
Sen. Sanders put me immediately at ease. He gave me a signed copy of his latest book. And I appreciated his efficiency as he turned to the director right away and said, “Well, shall we continue this on camera?”
Bernie asked me some hard questions about how much wealth I thought would be enough. We agreed that wealthy people should be taxed more. I asked him if he had any legislation ready to go to help make that a reality. It was a great discussion.
After the filming ended, we both had other meetings in Washington, so we walked downstairs together and out to our waiting cars.
On the sidewalk, a passing jogger saw Sen. Sanders and shouted, “Bernie!” Then, noticing me, he did a double take and yelled, “Holy shit, Bill Gates!” Which made both of us laugh. I guess we were an unexpected duo.
Proud papa
As much fun as it was to film with Lady Gaga and Sen. Sanders, my favorite conversation for the series took place last fall in New York City with my daughter Phoebe Gates.
I was a little worried about asking her to be in the series for a number of reasons.
First, I have two other amazing children, and I wanted to see if either of them wanted to be a part of the show. They were happy to let Phoebe take the spotlight.
Second, we needed to film during Phoebe’s senior year of college. She was very busy not only finishing up school but starting her own business and speaking at the foundation’s Goalkeepers event later that same week.
I’m glad we made it work, though, because our conversation—for the episode on misinformation—turned out to be a series highlight.
Along with running her own company, Phoebe is also an incredible advocate for women’s rights and women’s health. She regularly meets with other activists, many of whom have been harassed online in some awful way. She shared with me specific examples of how bad actors use misinformation and disinformation to disrupt progress.
Phoebe helped me better understand how women online—particularly women who stick up for other women—often face threats to their safety that are intended to make them think twice before they speak out. I’m not exactly a stranger to people being mean to you online, but I have the luxury of (mostly) ignoring what gets said about me. Phoebe explained how these threats can have a chilling effect on women’s rights activism and shared some thoughtful ideas for how to make the internet a safer place for everyone.
Few people in your life can be as direct with you as your own children. Phoebe and I talked about growing up with social media, how to become sophisticated about its use, how not to feed the trolls, how to seek out different viewpoints, and the important lesson (for me, at least) that no one uses Facebook or email anymore.
One of my favorite moments was when she told me never to email her. When I asked her why not, she said, “No one uses e-mail for personal communications anymore. Just text me.”
I ended up meeting her halfway. These days, I text her to say that I’m sending her an email. And we’ve actually ended up talking more on the phone. I can’t wait to see how her advocacy work will make a difference in the world—and hear what she thinks of What’s Next? now that it’s out.
My goal for the show is for it to inspire more people to have conversations about these important topics. The human condition has improved dramatically over the last few hundred years. There is no doubt that there are scary things going on, and it feels like change is coming rapidly. But we shouldn’t underestimate what happens when people work together and focus on a problem. I’m confident that brilliant people—especially young people—will step up with great solutions.
The key is to get engaged in the issues. They’re simply too important to just get pessimistic or put our heads in the sand. These are global problems, and we should talk to each other about them. It’s a critical time, but if we engage, there is a path to progress.
I hope you enjoy What’s Next?.

Dear Victor and Angela, Harvard Geneticists' George and Donna, Bill (Gates), All,
How are you? How to de-extinct the wooly mammoth (a project Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church is heralding, and potentially, as I understand a facet of this enterprise, by taking very decayed genetic material from wooly mammoth bones and remains, from 4000 years ago when it went extinct, adding it to Asian elephants (eg from India and which evolved in warm climes) ... in Alaska ... and adding genetic information for traits, for example, that make this Asian elephant living pachyderm frost and freezing resistant ... all by 2026) and see some pictures here of extinct Wooly Mammoth remains, Wrangel Island in Russia, and where the last wooly mammoths around 4000 years ago may have gone extinct -

And how to build a de-extinction machine in a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForDeextinction, #ForAgingReversal too, & #ForExtremeLongevity eg in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER (and how to build an #AgingReversalMachine as well +? ) ...
AND HERE'S one beginning of this IDEA possibly in
"How to view Google Street View in a smart meeting room."
(AND GOOGLE SEARCH ON something like 'how to view Google street view in a smart office igloo vision - Igloo vision - Shropshire England to find this again)
AND interestingly, this Shropshire, England 'Igloo vision' smart meeting room in Street View has received Microsoft funding
... AND HOW could MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch turn it into WUaS Aging Reversal and De-extinction Hospital Rooms (and WUaS Multimedia Barns in the shop in Canyon 94516 even, and into #WUaSMultimediaRooms and #WUaSMultimediaHouses (for language learning too even)) ... and for many many university hospitals + in many countries to build out WUaS Aging Reversal and De-extinction Hospital Rooms in innovative ways (and could we even de-extinct my father GKM MD, who came back from a Semester at Sea trip in Belize where he received a first subdural hematoma on 12/30/04 ... from which I think he died on 11/25/07 ... and from my and my brother Sandy's genes, as well as our cousins ?) ... and to connect potentially the time slider in Google Street View also to our individual artificial intelligence and ML-coded #

Please dear Scott,
stop your questions from this virtual world with virtual language we hardly understand since we do focus on reality : our natural and real and into understanding our physical body-mind being born from LIFE ENERGY. We tend to avoid technical inventions beyond telephones and emails ….
The dependence on technology only sends people away from the chances to turn inside where our “real”power lives as it asks us to receive its pure magic.
We do not answer any questions coming indirectly from the intellect.

And how to build a de-extinction machine in a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForDeextinction, #ForAgingReversal too, & #ForExtremeLongevity eg in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER (and how to build an #AgingReversalMachine as well +? ) ...AND HERE'S one beginning of this IDEA possibly in(AND GOOGLE SEARCH ON something like 'how to view Google street view in a smart office igloo vision - Igloo vision - Shropshire England to find this again)AND interestingly, this Shropshire, England 'Igloo vision' smart meeting room in Street View has received Microsoft funding... AND HOW could MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch turn it into WUaS Aging Reversal and De-extinction Hospital Rooms (and WUaS Multimedia Barns in the shop in Canyon 94516 even, and into #WUaSMultimediaRooms and #WUaSMultimediaHouses (for language learning too even)) ... and for many many university hospitals + in many countries to build out WUaS Aging Reversal and De-extinction Hospital Rooms in innovative ways (and could we even de-extinct my father GKM MD, who came back from a Semester at Sea trip in Belize where he received a first subdural hematoma on 12/30/04 ... from which I think he died on 11/25/07 ... and from my and my brother Sandy's genes, as well as our cousins ?) ... and to connect potentially the time slider in Google Street View also to our individual artificial intelligence and ML-coded #AvatarAgentElectronicHealthRec ords ... and even, somehow to our molecules, genes and cells, computer science-wise ... and so we could time slide back our aging cells .... potentially by making adding vaccines with the right material in them part of this aging reversal genetic drug therapies' medical electronic health care records' process (where we might even be able to see the potential changes in avatars of us, compiled from all the medical imaging and photographs and videos etc that might inform such a new development in electronic health records, as avatar agent electronic health records) ...

Flight https://angela-victor.com/
I haven't flown in a very long time but am beginning to search for flights from Pittsburgh to Athens (and then planning to fly too to Mytillini, Lesvos, and then to drive about an hour across Lesvos to near the town of Molyvos) on Friday Oct 4, or Sat Oct 5 (which is also my brother Sandy's BIRTHDAY) in
Might there be even any US federal government flights somehow in these regards possibly? (Might anyone here know?)
Donna, would you like to travel to a 2 week Yoga course with Angela and Victor in Eftalou on Lesvos - https://angela-victor.com/
Victor, or Patricia (Schneider, in Yellow Springs, Ohio, or?), if there's a daily flight (or 2) from Athens to Mytillini in October, when does it depart Athens, please? Or would a ship be better even (Greece having a zillion islands and a very old ship culture:)?
Donna, would you like to travel to a 2 week Yoga course with Angela and Victor in Eftalou on Lesvos - https://angela-victor.com/
Thoughts about air travel opportunities, and even rendezvousing in Frankfurt or Athens (or London or New York) even, and traveling together - out of the blue? :)
Anyone else interested in traveling to a Yoga course with Angela and Victor near the beautiful town of Molyvos on the far side of the island of Lesvos?
Yogically, warm regards, Namaste,

Dear Victor and Angela, Harvard Geneticists' Donna and George (Church), Peter (Norvig, Google AI Director), Bill (Gates), Janie (my mother), Pin (Mazumdar HHS), Ed (Smyth MD), All,
Greetings, Victor and Angela, all ... How are you doing? Thanks again for your email, Victor. FYI, I (and possibly Donna) won't be attending your 2 week A & V Yoga course on Lesvos Greece beginning M 10/7/24 unfortunately (partly because my US federal passport was stolen in Canyon 94516 I posit, and partly because in seeking US federal protection for my mother, brother and myself not long ago, I'm not sure how this would work in Greece and on Lesvos, and in MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch growing a worldwide abolition movement to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex drugs and violence industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence ...)

2nd related search, and found -
Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten are known for their unique approach to yoga that emphasizes:
- Inner exploration: They guide students to connect with their inner world and body sensations rather than focusing solely on achieving perfect postures. YouTube
- Feminine energy: Farmer, particularly, incorporates a focus on the feminine, free-flowing aspect of yoga, creating a more intuitive practice.
- Moving away from lineages: They don't strictly adhere to a specific yoga lineage but rather draw on various influences.
- Playfulness and freedom: Their teaching style is less rigid and encourages exploration and joy in movement.
- Healing and self-discovery: They view yoga as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and reconnecting with your body.

BUT, my critique -
they create their own Yoga in very innovative ways -
Angela and Victor's Yoga :) | |||||||||||
| Through their yoga, Angela and Victor are extraordinary guides to the world of the inner body. Through movement and yoga they dive deep and unbury many 'energies' of life, including its light and playful sides, as well as some shadowy ones, to come to a kind of inner body flow. Their explorations can help you come in contact with your inner body, exploring many aspects of life as energy through movement. For the people who enjoy their courses, this exploration of the inner body can be profound and healing. What's the inner body? How to experience it? Let's explore. | Coming: | ||||||||||
| Opening/Home | |||||||||||
| Greetings | |||||||||||
| Grounding/Rooting | |||||||||||
| In general, their yoga is sattvic - loosely meaning illuminating, calming, and easing - and, in my experience, moves toward a kind of grace. Angela and Victor's exploration of energy, and their use of language and, particularly, imagery from nature in relation to the body, are unique, subtle and liberating, as well. Their work is insightful, deep and pleasurably opening. If, when practicing, you come upon emotions like aggression, anger, loneliness, frustration, or other 'negative' ones, it's not the yoga they teach. Be present. Try to relax a little, explore what comes up, visit with a friend, laugh and start again with releasing and moving exploratorily. | |||||||||||
| Movements/Positions | |||||||||||
| Breathing | |||||||||||
| Shadow Side | |||||||||||
| Your experiences in their courses may be very different from anything conveyed here on the web or through other media or texts. Their humor, interactiveness and the social, aural and visual experiences they shape in their courses make the learning unique. (The remarkable and unique-to-the-individual physical adjustments/changes in movement and in poses, which they share in class, are difficult to convey through this media, and thus a serious deficit here). They teach a kind of spontaneous movement welling up from insight, from their own unique and often sublime views. Finding your own unique ways with yoga and movement is part of what they teach. | |||||||||||
| Feminine/Masculine | |||||||||||
| Creativity | |||||||||||
| Untraining | |||||||||||
| Sound | |||||||||||
| From the late 1960s through the early 1980s, they studied with B.K.S. Iyengar and others, but have since created their own approach. While both worked for many years with Iyengar, Victor, in particular, worked very closely with him, and makes fascinating, personal, physical adjustments. With remarkable vision and language, Angela explores fluidity, using, for example, water or wind as metaphor for the inner body, to open so many ways of coming in touch with it. Similarly, she also explores ways to come in touch with one's own inner teacher. Angela and a group of women interested in her teaching have met almost every year, for many years, in a women-only retreat at Harbin Hot Springs. The opportunity there to explore Angela's far-reaching interest in the feminine, without men, has made for some flourishing gatherings. In their courses, they explore an amazingly wide variety of movements, energies, meanings, and ideas - what comes up - including exploring creativity itself, in relation to yoga. | |||||||||||
| Meditation | |||||||||||
| In exploring their 'play' through this web site, deemphasize these texts, photos and videos, to some degree. Through the 'physical' body, Angela & Victor explore movement and energy in their teachings: some asana (yoga position)-related movement, many subtle, breath-related movements, and - using imagery from the natural world, wonderful metaphors and language - welcome, mindful, inner releases and energetic flows; dead and inanimate things don't move, so they don't seek to hold poses rigidly, inside or outside. For them yoga isn't "the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind" (Patañjali) but rather coming in touch with, and exploring your inner body and teacher with awareness and movement, and finding a kind of flow, which might include, however, a profound and welcome easing of the mind. And while one of them teaches, the other is often exploring things in his or her own body, resting and/or listening, and modeling this as well. Their deep questioning of authority and tradition opens horizons. How to find your own freedom and creative exploration with yoga is what they teach. | |||||||||||
| Yoga Philosophy | |||||||||||
| A & V Media Index | |||||||||||
| A & V Bibliography | |||||||||||
| From my perspective, they offer a kind of development in yoga, and certainly their own view of it. From this perspective, they teach a profound, imaginative and beneficial releasing, easing and 'energy-related' opening of the bodymind. By energy, they mean your own experiences, thoughts, feelings, motivations, subtle leanings, and imaginings, among other things, which guide people, - experienced in your own bodymind. Please don't systemize this, - they don't, and they encourage people not to, as well; it's probably impossible. In their view, yoga as a kind of core life experience isn't systemizable; doing so kills the life of it. Instead, experience and play with this inner movement and awareness. Bring impressions, observations and meanings from the world around you into your bodymind, and explore them in your inner body, sometimes in poses, learning from them. Yoga becomes an ongoing, artistic discovery. In their courses, this is often done with friends, and with Angela & Victor as guides. Yoga with them can sometimes be as enjoyable as going to the beach with friends, or to a very fun party, and lead to so much. In my experience their approach is very social, supportive and loving. It can also lead to cathartic, emotional releases. In many of the following texts, photos and videos, A & V teach a specific movement / action, and/or awareness. They encourage people taking their classes to move when they want. The movements and positions depicted here offer ways to explore the freeing up of energy. This can often lead to experiences of personal freedom, bringing you alive. | |||||||||||
| So what's new or different with their yoga? New principles, new concepts, new awarenesses? Compared with what? Angela & Victor offer an imaginative approach to exploring inwardly with your awareness through movement, energy-work and a far-reaching knowledge of the body (including its musculo-skeletal- | |||||||||||
| Teaching together, they offer two distinct perspectives, which they weave together into a conversation and a (usually:) shared vision of the inner body/teacher. They are partners in so many ways, unusual in the world of yoga, and its long traditions, long conceiving of their teaching together as a yoga marriage. And while also long skeptical of the institution of marriage, they are marrying in the autumn of 2008 in Eftalou, Lesvos, Greece. | |||||||||||
| In some ways, Angela & Victor teach ways for you to find your own freeing, creative and happy way, partly through yoga, but especially through coming in touch with your inner body. They're innovative. They might explore, for example, what bliss is, in class, - how one might experience this. They aren't interested in starting something called Angela & Victor Yoga. They're bohemian, free-spirited, iconoclastic, alternative, maverick, independent and creative. Beginning, perhaps in part, as hippie yogis in the 1960s, they draw from counterculture, to teach a kind of underground yoga, with very unique skills. As yogis, teachers and artists, they create anew and shape a kind of free-spiritedness through yoga. If their language, vision, images, approaches to movement, as well as their energy-exploration, work for you to facilitate release, integration, creative exploration, and help to heal your wounds, as well as allow you to experience new vistas on being, - enjoy! | |||||||||||
| I first took a course with them in 1984. I see this web site as an opportunity to share my experience of, to translate and find the right language for, the way they teach subtle awarenesses leading to inward releases, through engaging yoga, - so that you might experience it. And in the context of yoga exploration and practice, to relate how you might bring your awareness pleasurably inwardly while practicing to find new, beneficial approaches to life, on your own, at home or with friends. | |||||||||||
| Angela & Victor often teach in beautiful places. They've recently built their 'Eftalou Yoga Hall,' in Eftalou near Molivos, on the island of Lesvos, in Greece. After their classes, people in their courses often go to natural hot springs and the ocean to bathe or share a meal with friends. It's not a yoga you're probably familiar with yet. They explore a kind of interconnectedness, as many yoga practitioners do, but Angela and Victor's teachings and style are unique, and through them you may soar. Angela and Victor's yoga is fun and respects your experience, so keep your common sense as you explore what they teach. And while I have selected certain themes which they often re-visit in their teaching, their yoga can lead in many to-be-created directions. Moving from the inside, they eschew/avoid the limitations of tradition, religion, authority, etc., to seek and find the freedom of the inner body/teacher, thus teaching ways to continue to move out of/ away from 'boxes,' (including any boxes/themes/ideas shaped by a web site about their teaching). Angela & Victor thus would encourage people to keep exploring, to stay out of the boxes that people continue to make, and to find your own freedom. Perhaps this web site can be a helpful starting place for this. | |||||||||||
| I'd like to dedicate this web site to Victor & Angela and people touched by their yoga. | |||||||||||
